1t is impossible to put electric wires
under ground in New Orleans because
the water level is but three feet below
the surface. So strong towers, $50 feet
high, are erected, and on these telegraph

the public streets These towers are
also used to sustain stand pipes, which
have nozzles at different elevations where
hose can be attached in case of fire.

DR.. Donnet, physician in the asylum
at Bordeaux, comments upon the effect
OF alcohol upon the animal economy
when taken continuously, and even in
small amount. He particularly calls at
tention to the fact that professional wine
tasters, who, in order to preserve their
delicacy of taste, must never swallow
any wine, but spit it out and then rinse
the mouth thoroughly with water, event
ually suffer the same diseases of the head
and stomach as those who are habitual
drunkards.
At the Newcastle England exhibi>

by compressed air. 1t is intended for
underground work especially and has
already been employed in several of the
Durham mines. 1t has weight of about
two tons and runs on narrow-gaugc,

which the engine will draw is twelve
tons. The air is at 400 pounds pressure,
and, with with lead of five tons on an
ordinary road, single air-charge will
last about one mile.
Under the old doctrine that nothing
but liquid could pass through cell walls,
land by the endosmotic process, it was
difficult to conceive. how there could be
any ground for the popular belief that
hybrids occasionally spring from graft
ing Yet the fact that new varieties can
originate from grating has been proven
true by the experience of careful expert
menters in recent years. The new dis
covery that the substance called proto-
| plasm is continuous, and passes from cell
to cell, as we'll as plant liquids, makes
the explanation of graft hybrids now
clear.

A Great Game Region.

The Big Horn Mountains are fairly
swarming with game. Deer are there
galore, also elk and mountain. sheep and
bear, too, for that matter, if anyone cares
to go in aftcr the toughest Of all mount
ain customers. Deer in this country
average from $50 to 800 pounds. To
hunt them successfully requires some
knowledge of their habits, but the fol-
lowing general rules will serve and help
out considerably until the novice has had
a few wisdom teeth cut and missed few
score of the anlmals-more or less Their
mating season is late in the fall, along
about October or early in November,
when their horns become hardened and
they go racing around through the woods
in pursuit of the fleeing does This is
dangerous time to attack, for the bucks
are exceedingly belligerent, and will fight
hard and long, even though only slightly
wounded.
In the Big Horn Mountains the deer
and elk have regular runways to water,
which they follow year in and year out.

one of these runways, and waits for his

Down in Houston county there is an
ancient village called Old Wilmer. tt
was once the old county site. While it
was in its most prosperous days there was
big school there. and there came a
teacher from the North to take
charge of the academy. His name was
Moore. During his residence there he
lost his wife, whom he loved very dearly.
He had her buried in the old burying
ground Of Wilmer, and out OF his meagre
funds he erected marble tombstone at
the head of her grave. As it was located
in the wildwood, as cemeteries generally
were then, it was favorite ground for
the juvenile population. Thus it came
about that the half obliterated epitaph
appears to-day, cut deep in the mossy
stone; "Boys, Don't Shoot Birds Around
Martha's Grave" The name Martha Ann
Moore, with date of birth and death, app
pear above. 1t is curious epitaph, and,
as none of the family live in this coun-t
try, It'll the only bit of history left com
cerning the old teacher and his wife.

A Fortune From q Song.

s'Paulus, who claims to be the com,
poser of the 'Boulanger March, gets
royalty of fifty per cent. on all copies of
the song sold in France Up to the
present nearly 900, 200 copies have been
sold, and / am told that his income
therefrom has been fully $500 month, !"
writes Paris correspondent. This alone
is nice income. How much he gets for
singing at the beer garden l do not
know, but | suppose 1T is at least $50
night. You may therefore understand
that Paulus is well off, He has lately
paid $25, 900 for house in Paris and
he has country seat which cost him
every penny of $4,000 He lives,
dresses and drives out in style becom-
ing millionaire. Now that his voice is
broken, he does not go to the beer
garden, but once week he sends his
liveried servants around to the office.
with his carriage, to draw his salary and
bring it home to him.
| Paulus's real name is Paul Habans.
He is native of Bordeaux, and is about
forty-five years old. He has been a
comic public singer ever since he grew
! up W IudIuOOu. Ab uTSI uc Was III u
small way. For years he did not earn
more than $12 to SIS week. He found
that there were plenty of competitors
who could sing just as well as he. So
he had to resort to other means of max
I ing progress. Audacious eccentricity
became then his watchword.
When the other singers took to wear
ing cuffs fifteen inches in circumference
about their wrists, he came out with
cuffs yard in circumference, making
him look as though his hands were stick
ing out of beer barrels. When large
nosegays appeared he adorned the lapel
of his coat with caulitiower encircled
with a wreath of mammoth suntlowers.
When the others affected low-cut shirt
collars he had his bosoms cut open almost
to the waistband.
These tricks, more than his singing,
attracted attention. Thousands fockeG
nightly to see what new trick he would
display. So he won fame and fortune.
AS his songs were almost always polit-
ical or satirical he made many enemies.
Frequently he was threatened with vio-
lence, and more than once was on the
verge of a duel. In preparation for
emergencies he studied boxing, fencing
and pistol-shooting, until now he would
be, in either of the three, one of the
mcst dangerous antagonists in France
But as yet he never has been compelled
| to put his proweSs to actual test.

of age-darted from the bushes upon the
two soldiers left in charge of the stacked
arms, disabled them, and with their guns

marched the British guard into the
American camp. For his exploits he
was offered an officers commission, but
declined it on the plea that he could not
read. A Mrs. Elliott, on behalf of the
ladies of Charleston, presented him with
a beautiful set of colors, which he pre-
served with great pride. Though mortally
wounded in the rash assault upon Savan-
nah under Count D'Estaing, he reached
the American camp and died in the act
of exhorting his companions to patriotic
service.

the flag from the British ramparts, where
it had been planted. 1t is the production
Of Mr.. Alexander Doyle, of New York.

So Alexis went, and excepting the
ships surgeon, no one knew anything
about it. The McBiddies were on the
dock long time, aud they waited. At
the hotel Mr. McBiddie watched the
register. M. alexis had been given the
address. Ceaselessly Almeria sent down
walters to the clerk. to her father, for
news of the lost gentleman. She would
not look at the papers so as TO select the
theatre where she might spend her even
ing. She was i'll with anxiety.
The Colonel was merciful He could
not tell her what he had read in the
morning prints of the next day. 1t was
worse than had Monsieur Alexis been
found drowned in the East River. There
it all was, the arrest of the most perfect
rascal Europe had ever produced. If
Vautrin represented crime with all the
chiar-oscuro OF mezzotint, M. Alexis
WAS as sharp and incisive as an etching.
1t had been murder and robbery in vi
emma, and when Monsieur Alexis's arrest
was flashed across the ocean, chiefs of
police departments in various head1uar-
tiers in far-distant cities chuckled, and
were very good -humored to their subor-
dinates for fully twenty-four hours. AL
meria McBiddie to this day wonders and
wonders over the fate of Alexis. She
has constructed some fantastic theory of
her own, how Alexis was spirited away
by the myrmidons of Russia, and now
languishes in Siberian steppe She is
true to his memory, and has enshrined in
her heart the man who, had he the least
chance, would have cut her throat.
AS to Alexis, there were no palliating
circumstances, and between ''the arrest"
and the execution the time was short.

Monnment to a Hero Of '76.

Savannah, rich in monuments, is just
now adding another-to the most chival-
rous of all the Southern heroes of the
Revolution, the lamented Sergeant JAS
per. the story of whose exploits, as told
by his companion in-arms, Major Peter
Henry, stirs the dnllest blood to patriotic
fervor In the very bloom and flush of
young manhood he received his mortal
wound at the siege of Savannah while
rescuing the flag that had been planted
on the ramparts. Though he died in the
middle period of the revolution no hero
who lived it through had career more
fascinating. When the British feet at
tackled Fort Moultrie and the American
flagstaff was shot down he leaped cut
into the ditch and raised it again in the
midst of storm of shot and shell. His
next exploit was to attack with a single
companion British guard of ten soldiers
who were conveying some Americans to
prison. When the gISxd halted at q

A WINTER SONG.

OH sumr1er has theroses
And the laughing. lightsouth wind,
And the merry meadows lined
With dewy, dancing posies;
But winter has the sprites,
And the wisehing, frosty nights
OH summer has the splendor
OF the corn fields. wide and do
Where scarlet poppies sleep
And wary shadows wander;
But winter fields are rare
With diamonds everywhere.
OH simmer has the wild bees,
And the ringing, singing note
In the robins tuneful throat,
And the leaf-talk in the trees;
But winter has the chime
OF the merry Christmas-time.
Oh! summer has the lustre
or the sunbeams, warm and bright
And rains that fall at night
Where reeds and lilies cluster
But deep in winters snow
Tha fires OF Christmas glow.

Madi studied under the principal masters

first public success in Europe in the

engagement she had the distinction of
being chosen by Verdi to create the title
role of aida on its first production in
